Mosaic Knitting

Saturday morning (9 a.m. - noon)

​​

Mosaic knitting is a form of slipped-stitch knitting – which creates complicated two-color designs while only using one color per row.  Not all slipped-stitch knitting is Mosaic knitting, however - it follows certain rules.  We’ll learn the tricks and rules to Mosaic knitting and how to read Mosaic knitting charts while knitting a washcloth/trivet sampler.

​

Supplies:

Worsted weight yarn in 2 contrasting colors (cotton yarn is best if you wish to use your finished project as a dishcloth, wool is best for trivet use). Pick a white or cream for one color and a dark color for your second color for a foolproof combination.

Working needles in size appropriate to yarn (size 7 or 8 will work for most knitters).

​

Homework: none

​

​

Next Row (RS): Knit 9 sts with your original color, then cut yarn leaving a tail and join a contrasting color (leaving a tail) and knit 9 sts.
